Children with Down Syndrome: A Developmental Perspective

doi:10.1017/CBO9780511581786

This volume offers a state-of-art review of what is known about young children with Down syndrome from a developmental perspective. The underlying theme of the book is that children with Down syndrome, despite their constitutional anomalies and their additional medical and biological problems, can be understood from a normative developmental framework. Interventions guided by developmental principles in the biological, educational and psychological realms are more likely to result in informed knowledge about how best to help children with Down syndrome and their families. Children with Down Syndrome will appeal to researchers, theoreticians, educators, and clinicians in a range of disciplines, as well as to parents, social policymakers, and other advocates for the best interests of children with Down syndrome.

"...it is absolutely fascinating...this is a book that will be of value and interest to everybody concerned with this group of people." Janet Carr, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry

"...this excellent and comprehensive compilation of research, much of it basic research, will be of great value to those who wish to advance a developmental perspective for children with Down Syndrome." John E. Rynders and J. Sophie Thayer, Mental Retardation
